06:30 · An AI life coach

You know the thing you keep avoiding.

Forvel is an AI life coach that holds you to one thing a week: talk it through, pick it, and hold a ring each time you do it.

Your first week is free, no card. Two more weeks free once you add a card, then $19 a month.

What brought you here?

Forvel is an AI life coach. It asks more than it tells, holds you to one thing at a time, and quotes your own words back to you. It isn't a therapist or a doctor, and it can't diagnose or treat anything.

Try it

Don’t take our word for it. Hold the ring.

This is the app’s Today, running right here. Hold the big ring until it closes: the rep counts, a dot flies into this week, and the next milestone arrives.

Then try Not today, or Undo in the toast.

Now for you

Monday recap

Last week · 4 of 4 days

Four mornings out of four. The walk is starting to belong to breakfast.

The app’s field at 09:00, in ink.

The problem

Starting is easy. Keeping it going past week two is the whole problem.

The number that resets
Miss one day and the count starts over, so one bad Tuesday turns into a bad month.
The app that nags
A notification at nine asking whether you did it. You know you didn't. Now you also feel watched.

Forvel holds one thing for one week at a time. A missed day is just a day that doesn't count, and it never takes a rep away.

How it works

One thing, held for a week, in your own words.

01

Say what's going on

Tell the coach about a decision, or a week that went sideways. It asks more than it tells, and it keeps your words.

How a week works

idk. not feeling great this week, haven't really done anything

Two different things usually hide under that word. What did the week actually look like?

worked late every night, slept badly, skipped the gym. same as always tbh

Then the gym isn't the problem, it's the last thing in the queue. Late nights and bad sleep hold each other up. What time did you get to bed on the worst one?

Words written for this page; the conversation is how the coach talks.

Inside

Small tools for the hard moments.

The urge ride

About to slip? Ninety seconds with a ring to breathe by, then one question: did it pass?

Pause a week

Ill or away. Nothing grows and nothing breaks until you're back.

Milestones that mean something

Your first rep, your first kept week, thirty reps. Real thresholds, never confetti.

A Monday recap

Last week in one line, in plain words, and a way to talk it through.

The Library

Short breathing and sound sessions. Say what you're after and how long you have, and it suggests two.

Your sky

It takes its colour from the sky outside.

Clear by day, warm in the evening's afterglow, and near-black at night, where only what you did glows.

The science

Built on what holds up.

18 to 254days

How long a new habit took to feel automatic, person to person, among the people whose data fit a curve. There is no fixed number, so Forvel never promises one.

Lally et al., 2010, European Journal of Social Psychology, 39 of 96 people

138randomised trials

Keeping a record of what you did changes what you do, and more so when it's physically recorded. Holding the ring is that record.

Harkin et al., 2016, Psychological Bulletin, 19,951 people

66days

The number everyone quotes. It's the median of those same 39 people, so Forvel never promises it.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is Forvel?

An AI life coach that holds you to one thing at a time. You talk a decision or a week through with it, pick one thing to do or stop this week, and hold a ring each time you do it.

Is it therapy?

No. Forvel is an AI life coach. It isn't a therapist or a doctor, and it can't diagnose or treat anything. If you're struggling, it shows you where to find people who can help.

What happens if I miss a day?

A missed day doesn't count toward the week, and it never takes a rep away. Reach your target, four of seven days or whatever you set, and the week is kept.

Can I use it to stop something?

Yes. A plan to stop something counts the clear days you log toward your own target, five of seven unless you change it. A slip is never shown in red.

How much does it cost?

$19 a month or $190 a year. Your first week is free with no card, and you get two more free weeks once you add one.

Where does it run?

In your browser, on your phone or your computer. You can add it to your home screen.
